Artist Alexander Massouras\u2019s will be showcasing a number of his recent works at a free exhibition at The Tabernacle next week, that will also see him giving a talk and a book signing on the Saturday.<\/p>\n

In his largest show to date, the exhibition will showcase paintings, drawings and etchings, including a series of over twenty etchings that were completed this year; a recently finished series of five paintings of sunlight; and a survey of early diver work. This eclectic collection will range from satirical etchings of famous figures such as Boris Johnson and David Cameron; minimalist paintings of divers; and tiny landscapes dotted around the gallery, culled from estate agents\u2019 adverts.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, 20th July, Alex will also be giving a free talk about his work and signing copies of\u00a0Three Moderately Cautionary Tales\u00a0<\/em>(www.amazon.co.uk\/Three-Moderately-Cautionary-Tales-Etchings\/dp\/0957012403<\/a>). This book displays a series of fifty hard-ground etchings in three cycles, with each cycle loosely following the narrative arc of an epiphany.\u00a0The etchings draw their imagery from a wide range of unusual sources, such as Eadweard Muybridge, Jorge Luis Borges, magazine images, pictures from e-bay, Old Master paintings, Wittgenstein, Kurt Schwitters, and the artist\u2019s nephew.<\/p>\n

Alexander Massouras is a self-taught British artist whose latest two prints \u2013 the above-mentioned satirical\u00a0portraits\u00a0of Boris Johnson and David Cameron (titled\u00a0The Sun King<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Camerondias<\/em> – as seen below) have been acquired by the British Museum. The two etchings were a collaboration between Alexander and the poet Luke Wright, intended as a comment on contemporary Britain through old literary and artistic\u00a0compositional forms.<\/p>\n

FT Arts correspondent Rachel Spence, in her overview of the Frieze satellite Fairs (October 2012), wrote a glowing review of Alexander Massouras\u2019s latest works:<\/p>\n

Connoisseurs of printmaking should also pay homage to Alexander Massouras, at Multiplied with Julian Page Fine Art. New this year from Massouras are \u201cCamerondias<\/a>\u201d and \u201cThe Sun King<\/a>\u201d, beautifully etched teases of David Cameron and Boris Johnson accompanied by verses from poet Luke Wright, that evoke 18th-century satire.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The exhibition will be open daily from 15th to 21st July \u2013 9am to 10pm, Monday to Thursday; 9am to 11pm, Friday and Saturday and 9am to 5pm on Sunday.<\/p>\n
